The GOP-controlled Senate may be poised to sink Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) without an outside soul knowing how they voted.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Senator Susan Collins (RINO-ME) may derail Gabbard’s confirmation as DNI due to concerns about Gabbard’s stance on Section 702 of the FISA which gives government permission to spy on supposed foreign targets without a warrant.
Gabbard previously proposed legislation to repeal section 702 due to the government violating the Fourth Amendment by abusing the warrantless spying program to spy on American citizens. She has since tried to reassure senators on the matter.
As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Collins holds considerable power. Gabbard cannot afford to lose one GOP defector since the vote is split along party lines at 9-8.
In addition to Collins, Senator Lindsey Graham (RINO-SC) is reportedly lukewarm on Gabbard due to her previously visiting Syria and calling for charges to be dropped against National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
Now, Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, who has close contacts on Capitol Hill, reports that the Senate may hide the vote tallies on Gabbard following Collins’ possible opposition.

Hate them, bigly.
“..Despicable cowards!...”
Most politicians are, especially RATs & RINOs....
They’ll even hide behind babies to protet themselves...
They are torn - between their deep-state/CIA controllers on one hand, and the will of the American people on the other.
Always trying to change the rules
If they don’t have a public vote then President Trump should simply assign her to the DNI post and announce that she was confirmed.
No use in trying to hide the votes. She can’t be refused without Republican votes.
I have no inside info.
But this is a place where Dems might change a vote in committee to put the nomination to a floor vote forcing the Republican wing of the Uniparty to show its hand on the floor vote.
The Dems would LOVE to see ANY Trump nominee voted down in a floor vote with the Republican wing of the uniparty siding with the Democrat wing.
The swamp is deep and loaded with snakes. Primary EVERY GOP senator with more than 2 terms. They are all worthless.
“Despicable cowards!”
These are the same people who hide their votes for the majority/minority senate leadership position.
They are not public servants. They have no respect for their constituents.
Legally he can’t.

But he could try!
“They are torn - between their deep-state/CIA controllers on one hand, and the will of the American people on the other.”
No they are not... They are not torn one bit. They are 100% loyal to the deep state and NWO without any question in their minds. They just don’t want us to find out “how many” are actually more loyal to them than us and who the traitors are.
Tulsi may need some D votes. Ditto RFK Jr.
It was fine when Democrats were spying on us
I think Fetterman will vote for them.
President Trump can structure his national security advisor team any way he wishes in the real world.
He can just make her an informal advisor and then give her all the real power in the room.
The title can go to some harmless clown that the Senate traitors will approve.
Time for a new amendment?
All votes by the Senate and House shall record how each Senator and Representative voted and be made public within 72 hours.
How about one hour?
“No use in trying to hide the votes. She can’t be refused without Republican votes.
“
Point is, they are too coward to stand by their decision. They don’t want us knowing “who” the traitors are.
